Pushcart Prize Nomination

Stone CIrcle Review Pushcart Noms

My poem “Trigger Alert,” which was published earlier this month by Stone Circle Review, has been nominated  for a Pushcart Prize. I am grateful to editor Lee Potts for the nomination, and for taking this piece, which is one of a series of hendecasyllabic (eleven lines consisting of eleven syllables) poems written since early September. My illness has been rough at times, but at least a few poems have emerged from it.

Poem Published at Amethyst Review

A handful of my poems have been published since January, and in the grip of my illness I did not properly acknowledge the publications. I hope to make up for this, at least in part, by providing, at this late date, links to the poems in these journals.

“While Listening to Fleck, Hussein and Meyer, I Consider Children’s Book Titles, Hops and the Ongoing Search for Meaning,” was published at Amethyst Review in January. I am grateful to editor Sarah Law for taking this sonnet, and to Stephanie L. Harper, who provided the title during a fundraiser for Tupelo Press iin August 2016. Little did I know that four years later Stephanie and I would be married. Ah, the power of poetry.
